I used to get irritated with Glacier Bay when the weather wasn’t exactly sunny. I had always thought blue sky was required for good photography. Only now do I look back and realize that some of my very best shots were taken in fog or rain, usually a combination of both. This view from Garforth Island is very moody as we contemplated a cloudy sky and a low fog that would engulf us in about a half an hour. Sometimes that's what Glacier Bay is like – the coolest places aren’t easy to get to, and you’re not necessarily going to have perfect weather along the way. There is a subtle ‘hardcore-ness’ to it all…something that would keep me coming back. Photographer: Tom Bergman
